Happiness


Happiness
When one's spiritual needs are met
by an untroubled inner life.
Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others.

Our Deepest Fear


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

She Kicks Like a Girl!!!



Kassy McCarthy isn't stopping at a state title -- she wants to be a Badger.
Moments after her Waunakee team put the finishing touches on the school's first WIAA championship since 2002, the senior kicker told reporters she intends to seek a tryout with the University of Wisconsin football team.
You go, girl!!!

What defines you?


If what you did yesterday defines you,
then you haven't done much today.

Strength


There are two ways of exerting one's strength;
one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

All That You Already Have


If you just look at all that already exists in your life, all that you already have: unlimited air to breathe, ample lighting to see, music to hear, books to read, stars to dream by, trees to gaze at, floors to dance on, friends to cavort with, enemies to befriend, strangers to meet, woods to walk through, beaches to comb, rocks to scale, rains to cleanse you, rivers to float you, animals to comfort you, you do have to admit, life is good if we reach out and live it!

Bugs on the Windshield



Princess Mia planned to recuse her royal position as Princess of Genovia and declined making a public speech as she had previously been humiliated by the press.

"You wouldn't stop driving your mustang because a couple of bugs hit the windshield. Would you?"

replied her grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi of Genovia (Julie Andrews) to an anxious granddaughter and Princess-heir apparent , Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) in The Princess Diaries, 2001.
